My House Negro of the Day

This is my House Negro of the day.

Sorry Field, I had to bite your saying for this one.

The negro pictured above is the first black U.S. Attorney for Louisiana, Mr. Donald Washington. He is the fool that decided that the white boys involved in the whole Jena fiasco should not be charged with a hate crime for all the mess that they started. Let's keep in mind that nobody would have ever heard of Jena, Louisiana if the white boys at that school had not hung nooses from that white tree. None of this would have made headline news if the black boys involved in this would have been treated fairly. No one has ever said that the black boys were innocent. They did beat a white boydown after he offended their manhood and their heritage with racial insults.They did what any group of teens would have done in any city anywhere in America.

If anyone goes to Little Italy in New York City and stands on the corner and yells " I hate Wops!" What do you think is going to happen? He will not make it out of Manhattan alive. If you go to China Town in San Francisco and start throwing around racial insults to the Chinese people that you see, what do you think will happen? You might end up on a plate next to some egg foo cat. So yes, the fight that those boys got into was nothing more than a little teenage skirmish. (Even though it was racially motivated.) It should have been handled in Juvenilecourt, since all the participants wereJuveniles, and the assault did take place at a high school.

But we all know that this did not happen did it?

The Juvenileswerecharged as adults by a ignorant and racist-ass DA and an equally racist-ass grand jury.

One of the boys was convicted and sent to jail by a racist all white jury that wanted to prove that even in 2007, that in the town of Jena, Louisiana if you are black, you need to stay in your place. Isn't that what the DA meant when he told the black boys involved that he could "end their lives with the stroke of a pen?"

Now this is when the house negro pictured above should had stepped in. Because if my limited knowledge of the law rank structure is correct, a US Attorney out ranks a District Attorneyeveryday, all day. But as we all know he did not. When asked why he did not intervene in this case from the very beginning by the honorable Congresswoman Shiela Jackson Lee, this was his reply.....

“I was also offended, I too am an African-American,” “I did intervene, I did engage the district attorney. At the end of the day, there are only certain things that the United States attorney can do.”What? You mean to tell me that this is the best response that this negro could give? What the hell did the people of Louisiana elect this weak, spineless bitch to do? His job is, I believe, is to uphold the law in his state correct? His job is supposed to be to punish those who abuse the innocent is it not?

What part of this case was fair and impartial? The uproar that resulted from all this was not about releasing some boy from jail over a crime we all knew he was guilty of. The uproar was because this boy was not granted the same rights his white accusers were granted. It was about Justice for all. The law is supposed to be color blind, but we all know it is not. And for a black man, in one of the most racist states in this country, (past and present) to stand by and let this injustice go by unpunished, when he is in a position to grab his nuts and stop it, is an insult to not only us as a people but to the whole Judicial system in the state of Louisiana. WTF is wrong with this negro?

So Mr. Donald Washington I hereby declare that you are the recipient of my first Major Sell OutAward. I hope you enjoy your short lived status as the first black US Attorney for the State of Louisiana. Because if the people that voted you in that historic position, has any sense, you will not be around after the next general election.

But I guess you can always go work for the District Attorney of Jena, since it seems you are in his pocket anyway.

Hmmm. I think his Jurisdiction is such that he has to make a case that a federal law (like hate crimes / civil rights) was broken to step in. In this case, the fact that these young men were facing what in my opinion is excessive sentancing, should have brought scrutiny from the US Attorney's Office.

Either way, I still blame the parents, that morning of Nooses on the tree should have been followed by an evening of new firewood!

Words To live By

Character is like a tree and reputation is like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

It matters not what you are thought to be, but what you are.Character is the result of two things: Mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

Things that make you go hmmmm.....

If the #2 pencil is so popular, why is it still #2?Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?If I melt dry ice, can I take a bath without getting wet?Crime doesn't pay...does that mean that my job is a crime?How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign?How do you know that honesty is the best policy until you have tried some of the others?How do you throw away a garbage can?How does a thermos know if the drink should be hot or cold?How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?Do you realize how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?

I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.

I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident.. Some call me cocky. Get used to it. My religion; Not yours. My goals; My own. Get used to me. For I am here to stay.
